Project worflow

Briefly explaining, this project is an API providing endpoints that makes your financial calculation easy. This API can be easily integrated into websites, mobile applications, chrome extensions, etc. So how it works?

  • Once you run the server, and route to a path. For now, be it /simple_interest_rate (mentioned in main.py). You'll need to pass some query parameters.

  • As it is described, this endpoint returns the simple interest based on some input provided by the user.

  • Or you can route to the /docs path, where you can easily access and visualize the endpoints through a dashboard provided by swagger UI.

  • Here you can see, we are calling a function sinple_interest_rate() that is defined inside ./helpers/functions.py.

  • This function is responsible for making some calculations based on the parameter passed and returns the required value.

  • So, to add an endpoint, raise an issue regarding adding an endpoint. Once you are assigned, go through the project setup and set up the project on the local machine.

  • Then create a function in ./helpers/functions.py, passing the required parameters and returning the output as shown below

# Function to Calculate Simple Interest Rate
def simple_interest_rate(amount_paid:float, principle_amount:float, months:int):
    term = months/12
    interest_paid = amount_paid-principle_amount
    rate = (interest_paid*100)/(principle_amount*term)
    return rate

  • Cross-validate your endpoint output from some online calculators available or even manually.

  • Once the function is ready, create an endpoint in the main.py file following all the good practices of Fast API.

@app.get(
    "/simple_interest_rate",
    tags=["simple_interest_rate"],
    description="Calculate simple interest rates",
)
def simple_interest_rate(amount_paid: float, principle_amount: float, months: int):
    try:
        rate = functions.simple_interest_rate(amount_paid, principle_amount, months)
        return {
            "Tag": "Simple Interest Rate",
            "Total amount paid": amount_paid,
            "Principle amount": principle_amount,
            "Interest Paid": amount_paid - principle_amount,
            "Interest Rate": f"{rate}%",
        }
    except:
        return HTTPException(status_code=status.HTTP_500_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR)
  • And that's it, you are now ready to make your pull request.
